I’m cleaning up the dishes from dinner, feeling close to you in spirit. I almost see your shadow in the doorway. As the sun sets outside the window, I’m inspired by your whisper in my ear to pour a glass of white wine. I feel a mutual desire to turn on the Sirius XM Phish station, because you say you haven’t heard it in a while. I think “Great! Let’s play name that tune.” I wish for you to send me a message in the next two songs. This is what I hear:
Song #1: Lifeboy
Swinging on the lifeline
Fraying bits of twine
Entangled in the remnants of the
Knot I left behind
And asking you to help me make it
Finally unwind
But God never listens to what I say
God never listens to what I say
And you don't get a refund
If you over pray
And when the line is breaking
And when I'm near the end
When all the time spent leading
I've been following instead
When all my thoughts and memories are
Left hanging by a thread
God never listens...
Stranded on this slender string
The minutes seem to last a lifetime
Dangling here between the light above
And blue below that drags me down
But God never listens to what I say
God never listens to what I say
And you don't get a refund
If you over pray

Song #2: Everything’s Right
Time to get out, I've paid my dues
I need to shout there's no time to lose
No more to give, the well is dry
The pavements worn, my brain is fried
It's time to get out, I've paid my dues
My shoes have holes, my socks are bare
The mirror's secret is I'm losing my hair
I'm in prison without a crime
The sentence stretches on undefined
It's time to get out, I've paid my dues
I've paid my dues… But everything's right
So just hold tight… Everything's right
So just hold tight… Everything's right
So just hold tight… Everything's right
So just hold tight… Everything's right
So just hold tight… Everything's right
So just hold tight… Everything's right
So just hold tight
Just hold tight… I'm going downhill with increasing speed
And compassion gives way, if you listen to greed
Focus on the past and that's what will last
Nothing that is real and nothing you can feel
Focus on tomorrow you'll have to borrow
Images and mind and thoughts you've left behind
Focus on today and you'll find a way
Happiness is how
Rooted in the now… 'Cause, everything's right
So just hold tight… Everything's right
So just hold tight… Everything's right
So just hold tight
Just hold tight… Look into the eyes of everyone you meet
Try not to step on your best friend's feet
The line is in the sand, the flag is planted
The rest of your life
Don't take it for granted… 'Cause, everything's right
So just hold tight… Everything's right
So just hold tight… Everything's right
So just hold tight… This world, this world
This crazy world I know
It turns, it turns
And the long night's over and the suns coming up
This world, this world
This crazy world I know
It turns, it turns
And the long night's over and the suns coming up
This world, this world
This crazy world I know
It turns, it turns
And the long night's over and the suns coming up
This world, this world
This crazy world I know
It turns, it turns
And the long night's over and the sun's coming up now… This world, this world
This crazy world I know
It turns, it turns
And the long night's over and the suns coming up
This world, this world
This crazy world I know
It turns, it turns
And the long night's over and the suns coming up
Yeah, oh yeah
And the long night's over and the suns coming up
Yeah, oh yeah… Yeah, yeah, yeah it's gonna be alright
Everything's right
Everything's right
Alright, alright
Everything's right
It's gonna be alright
Everything's right
Right, right, right
It's gonna be alright
Alright
Alright
Alright
It's gonna be alright
Alright
Alright
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Alright
